Parkrunners anonymous keep on running

[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

As the last thread was filling up, here's a nice new one for parkrunners old and new

All parkrunners are welcome here!

Hope all parkrunners did well. DP is away this weekend so I gave it a miss. Too cold this morning, but planning a long run (>20k) later.

Oooppss..just looking at clock after having head in the papers in a rare moment of peace and quiet...i am still in my PJs instead of being at ParkRun

Better have a run later!!!

Hope you all had good runs. Slowish here, but at least I got out

Hahaha Lego!

Parkrun in the sun is a whole other story- man alive I was red faced!
But in spite of promising myself I would take it easy I was sub 30 according to runkeeper.

Lots of parkrun tourists today too, I even spotted a 250 tshirt

I am going to be a park run tourist next week at the famous bushy park . I am a big at the thought of 1,000 + parkrunners

Was a windy, cold but sunny parkrun today and I got a new pb of 30:16
I will get under 30minutes, I will.
Hope everyone enjoyed their runs this morning.

I did Parkrun with my sister this morning - I struggled in at 29.36, while my sister (who is a club runner) came third.

But it was a beautiful morning and I was glad I'd done it!

We had over 50 today :) all the juniors got eggs and the seniors got a little egg! I took it easy as I did another 9 miles after so got 29:48 but that's another one closer to my t-shirt, up to 34 now.

We had a few spots of rain but it was chilly, glad you're all enjoying sunny parkruns :)

Typically, the week I'm in charge we got a record turnout! 527 runners!!

Thankfully, RD shadowing seemed to be a popular option this morning so we also had 4 RDs so more than enough of us to organise it all.

I still have no clue what I'm doing though and wouldn't dare do it alone.

hello i have been unwell for a couple of weeks and not run at all i didn't even manage the one in Cornwall last Saturday .but today had a lovely jog around my home run with my 7 year old and her friend and we managed a 33.33 i trailed in after them as they did a sprint finish !
well done every one who has run this week am having to up the running this week as have a 10k on next Sunday .

We had a timer malfunction and a not very experience RD today who 1 min before the start called me over to clear it, pressure but I was fine to my surprise

I had a panic when one of the scanners started making an odd beep. Turns out that the lady doing the scanning was trying to scan the same barcode twice!

28.07

Well done Thusday worth a red face for a time like that!

Glad you are feeling better eatpudding, good luck with your 10K

Yummy cinnamon no eggs here DH and I have munched through the boys' and had to buy more today and well done on your added-on long run

Well done trainers

Brilliant PB lizzy

Kristina wouldn't it be fun if we all turned up at the same parkrun one week

And extra well done to Blathers and cinnamon for being RDs and knowing how to work the kit

We've just been for a dog walk and passed a runner, ds2 said 'look mummy, a parkrunner' very excitedly. I has to explain that not all runners are parkrunners, what have I done to my sons!?!

cinnamon, brainwashing at its very best!

My 4yo DD's favourite game is 'parkrunning'. She runs little laps of our house with a huge grin on her face :)

He's 3 1/2 and has been once when dh had to work last minute on a Saturday when I was RD. He helps me collect in the signs that are near out house at times and he knows I run it, as well as ds1 doing it twice.

No PB today, but I felt bloody good and did an extra lap after I'd finished, so covered 7.5k in all. Nothing hurt and I got that old flying-long feeling I used to have in my prime 10 years ago.

Oh and DS PB'd with 21.23!

I was volunteering today - sorting out the finish tokens. My new year's resolution is to volunteer at least twice a year. Finish tokens is v easy - had time to go and get a coffee as well. I've done barcode scanning before, which is fun. DH had to do funnel support (ours is quite big) and he said it was very stressful!

Well donenightsky! My DS PB'd as well today, 25 something.

I got added to the official RD mailing list for my parkrun last night.

I am unbelievably excited :)

Marking place to find out more.

Does everyone start at the same time?

Don't people get in each other's way?

I've looked on the website and found 3 parkruns about 10 miles from where I live so will probably try them all out. Is it ok to do that, or better to stick with one venue every run?
